just found about this funky fish that can walk around on land and the thing looks straight out of the trolls world. look at this thing, i love it!

anyway, floyd grew up in a cage and hed grew up in a city, i doubt they'd be thrilled to see one of these things for the first time. I know I would have shat my pants if i saw a 1.5 meter long catfish walk out of a lake towards me

#... #you... #you have to understand #they are two insanely cuddly affectionate guys with very unaffectionate/affection shy love interests #jhxbjhcvch rip 😢 #trolls #dreamworks trolls #trolls floyd #trolls oc #ex bandmates #hed #liv #les #mudskippers #my art #les loves animals #he would probably try to adopt any critter they'd come upon #only for hed to stop him because they live in a crammed van #at least he managed to adopt floyd lmao shdbvkd

Daily fish fact #632

Atlantic mudskipper!

It is able to exist out of water for extended periods of time due to its ability to store water in its gill chambers! It can also absorb oxygen through its skin, given it’s moist enough.

Boleophthalmus pectinirostris or the Blue-spotted Mudskipper 

Mudskippers are one of my all-time favorite fish. Yep, even though here they’re not in the water, they’re fish! They’re found in mud holes in the intertidal zones of South-East Asia. They’re extremely territorial and fight by extending their fins and kinda running into each other (bottom left). They also jump up into the air in hopes of attracting a mate (top left).

Taxonomy Tournament: Fish

Gobiiformes. This order is made up of gobies, some of the smallest fish there are, including the Mudskipper, which can breathe air and is one of the only fish that can blink.

Syngnathiformes. This order is made up of fish with long narrow bodies, with some groups swimming with their bodies aligned vertically to blend in with seaweed. Examples include the seahorse, trumpet fish, and sea moths.

im so curious about what Vee would be in the mermaid au, since theres so many ways to take it! in her natural form id think shed be some sort of sea slug, but if we're going for the whole shapeshifter bit then maybe something amphibious or able to change appearance would work... WAIT A SECOND IVE GOT IT SHE SHOULD TOTALLY BE AN OCTOPUS! specifically a mimic octopus which change their colors and move their bodies to look like other creatures! -adopt anon

(also the fact Luz now has at least 3 honorary siblings is amazing)

and Vee takes the place of the octopus sibling!

the species isn't overly common in the Isles due to Belos hunting them down for the purpose of being spies/test subjects. Vee was one of these and managed to break out. I'm tempted to make her some kind of mudskipper hybrid, tho, so she could reasonably use the octopus genes to pretend to be Luz + the mudskipper genes to survive on land and keep Camila from worrying about her definitely-selkie daughter.

Trolls fella & marine biology enjoyer who saw your trolls creature reblog, I 100% agree with you. Like SO agree. You probably know this [or not, idfk-] but those are Mudskippers!! They are VERY smart and. Basically just puppies who like to jump & hop around. They can even climb trees!! They are soooo funky and make surprisingly great pets!!

Imagining this freak creature in the trolls world makes me giggle and twirl my hair around. They are sooooo cool and underrated!!!!!!!

your ask spurred me to start drawing a comic about them! they are so SILLEYY!! (and no i was not aware of them but thank you for telling me)

here's a sketch from the comic that i decided to color

the video if anyone is curious

Daily fish fact #243

Mudskippers!

Mudskippers exhibit courtship behaviour! A male mudskipper will first dig a burrow, and after he's done he'll try to attract a female by flaring his fins (that have gained brilliantly coloured spots) and jumping in the air! They do all this courtship on land, strangest of all. If the male charms a female, she'll lay her eggs in the burrow he dug out.

I love how people try and deny evolution as if there aren't so many fish with legs at the moment

Ever feel like a fish out of water? Meet the giant mudskipper (Periophthalmodon schlosseri). Believe it or not, this fish needs to breathe air and spends a decent amount of time on land! Found on the muddy shores of mangroves in parts of Southeast Asia, it uses its pectoral fins to “skip” or “walk” across mudflats.
